Artful Winemaker - The Personal Winemaking System

I have been making wine at home for about 10 years and it is truly an enjoyable experience. It must be my right brain that drives this creative urge. Whatever it is, it sure is fun. I love the process all the way through bottling but I especially like giving bottles away to friends, taking a bottle to a party and receiving all the surprise looks and compliments about my wine making hobby.
Now this wine making experience that I love is available to everyone, even those who live in a small apartment or condo. After three years of extensive research and development, a revolutionary, one of a kind personal wine making system that offers an exciting and new innovative winemaking experience is available.
One of the newest most innovative products on the market today for personal wine making is the Artful Winemaker. The developers of this system set out to take traditional winemaking practices and produce a system that was easy and convenient to use, plus deliver 12 bottles of premium quality wine in just 28 days.
An important advantage to the Artful Winemaker is that it requires minimal space and time investment, plus this system offers a hands-on winemaking experience that gives wine-lovers the opportunity to handcraft their very own wines and express their creativity in 3 easy steps.
Each all inclusive Artful winemaker package includes: instructional DVD, premium wine refill kit of your choice, 12 bottles, toppers (corks), closures (bottle dressing), funnel, spoon, adhesive thermometer and ingredient packets.

The step by step procedures detail procedures for each step of the following process:
Day 1 – Assembly, Sanitizing, Mixing & Fermenting

Day 14 - Stabilizing and Clearing

Day 28 - Bottling
Current varietal choices include five of the most popular: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet/Shiraz, Merlot and White Zinfandel.

You can be a wine maker even if you live in a big city apartment. Why shouldn't you experience the enjoyment of creating that special wine to share with your family and friends? This personal wine making system is designed for anyone that wants to make their own wine but doesn't have the space, time, money or patience it takes to make wine the old way.
The Artful Winemaker Personal Winemaking System makes no mess and requires no heavy lifting to hand craft 12 signature bottles of wine. The all inclusive Artful Winemaker Deluxe system includes everything you need to make wine.
The Artful Winemaker is available for $159.99 at http://www.twistedcorkscrew.com/

Liqueur Recipes

Nassau Vanilla Liqueur Recipe

2 ½ cups dark rum 1 cup water
4 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 2 tablespoons glyercin (see note)
1 cup granulated sugar

1. Combine rum and vanilla beans in a glass container; shake to mix. Age in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks
2. Strain aged rum and vanilla bean mixture by pouring through a coffee filter or cloth bag placed in a strainer over a medium bowl. (Save vanilla beans to make vanilla sugar; rinse and let dry completely, let dry completely, then place in a pint jar with 2 cups sugar and let age for a few days. Use in baked goods.)
3. In a sauce pan, combine sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir until all sugar is dissolved. Let cool.
4. Combine cooled syrup with liqueur. Stir in glycerin, bottle, cap and age in a cool dark spot for an additional 1 to 2 months before serving.

Note: Glycerin is available in drugstores, winemaking supply shops and some hern stores. It’s used to give body to thin liqueurs.
